A member asked:
Left armpit sore wen i press. slight swelling.feels soft.7mnths now saw breast surgeon.did blood u/s & mammogram. all clr.could it b fat or muscular?

Likely fat deposit: If surgeons assessment, ultrasound, mammogram, and blood work were normal, fat deposit or muscle strain are likely explanation of tenderness to palpation (pressing on axilla).

If there's no: Palpable lump or nodule, more likely it's fatty tissue or muscle. Take care!
